Since you've never been, consider taking a cruise to the Eastern
Caribbean. You'll see more of what's available, then next time, you'll
have a better idea of where you'd like to stay. However, if cruising
isn't your thing, then Providenciales (Provo, for short), a 25 mile long
island that is part of the Turks and Caicos, will more than satisfy your
requirements. http://www.provo.net/ will get your started.
